fly tri haiku

Posted on June 29, 2014 by eteal

Nature decorates.

stripes on wings are funny things –

do they help you fly?

butterfly & flowers

why simplicity?

Nature’s raiments are complex –

We too are gilded.

beauty fly your world!

think not of austerity

but abundant be.

So sew?

Posted on June 27, 2014 by eteal

In the folds are possibilities,

potentials,

and raiments!

but you can not claw them out!

we must choose a pattern,

cut it out and then

sew sew!

Symphony

Posted on June 26, 2014 by eteal

the sun has set and the concert begins-

 the stage is empty,

the air is full!

french doors in the dark

frog and toad –

crickets and hoppers –

so loud i can barely think,

the light spills from the french doors of the house –

the sound spills from everywhere.

i stand enveloped in darkness and sound.

A Tale of a Caged BIrd

Posted on June 26, 2014 by eteal

today

i met a cardinal in a cage.

I do not know the tale that landed him

behind bars,

cardinal with out a tail

but none of his tail feathers were there.

and so

while you may see the cage as a jail,

his tail tells a different story –

one of compassionate care.

we all need to be in cages somedays,

some we build ourselves,

some others put us in – until we can learn to fly.

Life is a picnic

Posted on June 25, 2014 by eteal

some of us eat out of doors

lop earred bunny eating grass

some of us eat out of bowls

bowl of food

but grace fills them all.

confused and scared

Posted on June 24, 2014 by eteal

sometimes, we are all confused and scared.

pit pup confused and scared

we must learn to trust.

we must teach resilience to remember.

Solstice

Midsummer’s Night –

who’s to say who’s the Faery Queen?

phoenix cockatoo

who are you to judge a Dream?

Let us give thanks for long days,

and short Knights,

and magical beings seen and unseen.

Comfort and trust

Posted on June 21, 2014 by eteal

at the edges

of bed and blanket,

of wake and sleep,

curls a poodle,

Tomi sleeping

between light and dark,

night and day,

the sun will come up,

we should go play!

longest day

or longest night,

we should all live in comfort and trust.

under the weather?

esmerelda sleeping

my advise – look outside,

take a breathe, find a lap,

take a nap….

it will be all ok.
